How do you change a fraction to a decimal

To convert a Fraction to a Decimal manually, follow these steps: Step 1: Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make it 10, or 100, or 1000, or any 1 followed by 0s. Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by that number.

A fraction is a short way of writing a division problem.

When you see a fraction, it means

(the top number) divided by (the bottom number).

If you go ahead and actually do the division, the answer to it

is the decimal form of the fraction.

Examples:

Fraction 1/2. 1 divided by 2 = 0.5.

Fraction 1/4. 1 divided by 4 = 0.25.

Fraction 3/10. 3 divided by 10 = 0.3.
